Westfield Health chief executive, Jill Davies, said: “Westfield Health is entering a very exciting era in our health and wellbeing journey and we are delighted to acquire a successful and longstanding company with UK Healthcare.

“Like us, UK Healthcare was born out of the need to support local hospitals and has a long history of helping people with their everyday healthcare needs. Both companies share similar values, supporting the NHS and medically related charities with much needed funding wherever we can.”
